Convert a file to MXT
To convert other file formats to the "Scientific Data File" file type, you need software like MO.Control or a similar tool.
About MXT files
The .MXT file is primarily used as a MicroScale Thermophoresis data file created by NanoTemper Technologies software, or as a Map Document Template for Esri ArcGIS. These files store highly specialized lab data or proprietary geographic map layouts. The main disadvantage of the .MXT format is its strict vendor lock-in. You cannot open these files without an expensive, active software license, and they are completely unsupported by standard web browsers or generic document viewers. This creates massive roadblocks when scientists or GIS professionals need to share raw data or map templates with external clients. Users typically need to convert .MXT files to CSV or XLSX for universal data analysis, or PDF for map template visualization. However, standard online converters fail because the internal binary structure is closed, undocumented, and deliberately restricted by the manufacturers. Because this file format is difficult to open or convert natively, often only the original software can properly read or export the data. We can inspect the file, show raw text or internal content, and if our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MXT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert MXT file to SHP, KML, KMZ, GPX, GEOJSON, TOPOJSON, TIF, TIFF, ECW, SID, IMG or DEM, you can use MO.Control or similar software from the "Scientific Data or Map Template" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert LAZ, KMZ, DTM, CSV, DEM, PRJ, LAS, GPX, DSM, SHP, DBF or KML files to MXT, try MO.Control or another comparable tool in the "Scientific Data or Map Template" category.
The MXT Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our MXT converter.
